British 1815. To be honest I've given up. I could use Peninsular British but, lets face it, the plume is in the wrong place.
You did say that you would have them by the end of the year.
If you had said 2014 or 2015 I could have spent the time concentrating on the peninsular or ... No what I and a lot of other gamers would have bought  for the bicentenary isn't available for an ambitious project.
You have no Prussians & no British.
The French are 1809.
To get new members or create interest in Wargames you need something that the non wargaming  public have heard of.
Waterloo !  It's an iconic name. They may not have a clue when, but by the end of next year everyone will have heard it and they will know it was 200 years ago on June 18th.
You could have at least produced one marching infantryman

Stop it, I'm still trying to get the 1809 range finished and not dragged off into these Anglo-centric sideshows ;)

You did see this thread, which talks about British and Prussians, didn't you?

One of the problems with having a lot of ranges is that it is really difficult to meet everyone's expectations.

Yep, I'm hoping to have the first of the sculpts before the end of the year.

The problem is we end up trying to produce things on a dozen different fronts all at the same time.  If I tell the designer to stop everything and go do Nap Brits, then the guys waiting on the WWI extension would have to wait.  If we go do some of the Allies to complete the Wagram list, then the chaps wanting the Brits won't be happy.  If we get the designer to work on all three at the same time, none of them get finished quickly.  If we give him a bigger design budget to work with then I don't get paid...  :(

I need to chat to him soon about the WWI stuff, so I'll confirm then whether we're still able to start some Brits before the end of the year.

One of the 1/72 plastic makers has the same problem; pays attention to all those wingeing for what they want and tries to satisfy all needs, ending up satisfying no one.  Probably best to prioritise on a first come first served basis and finish what is selling rather than on who shouts loudest (or posts the most).  After all if people really want the product they should be prepared to wait in the queue.  If they won't wait, then sod 'em, they were fair weather friends after all. :d

Dear Leon.

I have an idea. Rather than just have a list of what we (the noodles in the Pendraken sweet and sour sauce) want, why not make things easier and start "things we don't want"?

I'll start with the M1 combat car, aboriginal Australians, and bronze age Japanese. 

Having said that, War Plan Red does bring the intriguing possibilities of the US invading Canada ...

OK skip the M1, and add ... um ... er ... balrogs.
